"Russell Holsenback of R.H. Builders, LLC and his associate, Jose Reyes, just completed a screen porch replacement and replacement deck at our home. Their workmanship is excellent and we are extremely pleased with the resulting changes. They also built a drainage and outflow system effectively eliminating a water runoff issue away from the house to the outer yard. They are pleasant individuals who make a dynamic duo with their skillset, experience, knowledge, and expertise. Russell’s experience in his craft is extensive and is reflected in the first cut of wood, the first screw placed, and the first nail pounded. He listens well, makes sound suggestions, and is amenable to design/build changes. His skillset has been honed through the years by sheer practical participation and encountering events in his trade. He has a “can do” attitude with a great motto that he lives by, “there are no problems, just solutions”. Among the many talents of Jose is one of being a tile setter. He is meticulous in measuring, thoughtful in design ensuring precision cuts with clean edges and straight lines, and he seeks your opinion along the process. We are indeed happy with Russell and Jose and their craftsmanship in our remodel project."

"An inspection of our home brought to light that several of the pillars in our crawlspace had shifted & no longer touched the supporting floor joists. A freind referred me to Pure & Simple Resorations on Hilton Head. Mark Hammerle came out the next day, crawled under the house & within several hours presented me with a though evaluation of the problems encountered, the appropriate repairs , & permanent solutions to prevent any reoccurrances. His work was excellent , prices were fair, & the job was completed in a timely manner. Mark also repaired a damaged wood floor for me. His quote for the floor repair was 50% less then then anyone else & the floor looked like new. Mark is reliable, his prices are reasonable, & he is a man of his word. Based on my experiences I strongly recommend his company to anyone in need for home repair."

"They arrived for estimate as scheduled. Due to insurance issues the work needed to be done asap. An estimate was emailed that evening. We signed a contract the next day and work was scheduled for 2 weeks later. They arrived on the scheduled day and began working immediately. Once the sliding glass door had been removed they started to frame in for the window. Half way thru framing for the window, it began to rain. Despite the heaviest rain so far this year,they remained in the rain and completely water proofed the opening so we had no leakage at all inside the house. This was critical as the interior had wall to wall carpeting. The minute the rain stopped, they were right back at work. During the times they had to enter the house for interior work, the were very careful not to track any dirt in the house. They all removed their shoes and placed plastic over the carpet to avoid any mess inside. They completed installing the window and all interior work in 2 days. The siding had to be ordered so they went above and beyond to completely waterproof the exterior so there would be no problems until the siding arrived. They returned on Tuesday with the siding and it was installed to our complete satisfaction. During the entire time they worked on our home, the entire team was courteous, polite and completely professional. I would use this company again without hesitation and would recommend them to anyone who needed carpentry work done."

FAQs for shelter or outbuilding building service projects in Hilton Head Island, SC

A bomb shelter is an abode built to withstand disaster. Bomb shelters may refer to a space or bunker that can protect inhabitants through a hypothetical nuclear attack, apocalypse, or any other massive crisis. People usually build bomb shelters underground and stock them to live there a few days to a month at a time. Doomsday bunkers accommodate long-term living rather than just through a short crisis.

Builders construct bomb shelters with reinforced steel, box culvert, concrete, or other durable materials (but many professionals do not recommend shipping containers, as they’re not designed to live underground. If building underground, you’ll first have to excavate land before building the actual structure. You’ll have to implement air and water filtration systems, septic systems, and power supply.

It takes a lot of experience to safely and legally construct a bomb shelter, not to mention make sure it’s fit to live in for extended periods of time. It’s best to talk to a residential structural engineer near you for proper guidance.

The current standard filtration systems require filtering both air and water. For air, you’ll want an NBC filter system, which both domestic and international producers make. NBC stands for Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical, which filters out all three. If you’re only building your shelter for natural disasters, chemical attacks, and biological attacks, you may opt for the less expensive HEPA filter system. 

Water filtration requires the same level of care. You’ll likely want to have a large water storage capacity to survive short-term disasters. For long-term living, you’ll want to have a water filtration system.

Rising S bunker prices depend on the size, ranging anywhere from $20,000 to $9 million. Their least expensive model is 96 square feet while their most expensive model has a gym, swimming pool, hot tub, and bowling alley.

  • Mini: $45,500

  • Standard Bomb Shelter: $67,500–$109,500

  • Silver Leaf: $140,000–$182,500

  • Admiral: $180,000–$500,000

  • Xtreme: $450,000–$780,000

  • Xtreme Bunker Complex: $840,000–$1,830,000

  • Luxury Series: $3,800,000–$9,600,000

You almost always need a permit to build a bunker on land with any type of public utilities running through it. You’ll want to check with your local building code enforcement agency to see if this is the case for your area. 

Because you’re building a structural component that often requires electricity, water, and sewage services, you’ll need to apply for permits to attach these utilities to your new property. However, off-grid-only units in rural areas may not need all or any of the permitting you’d normally find in more urban settings.

To survive a nuclear blast, you’ll need to have your bunker at least three feet underground. However, it’s usually advisable to put it further underground. To survive a close strike, you’ll want to have the bunker at least 10 feet down and with five-foot thick reinforced concrete. However, knowing exactly how deep to build depends on the size of the blast you’re trying to avoid. Most bunkers don’t need to be more than 5 feet below the ground.
